Electrical connecting terminal, in particular a modular terminal, having a plug link, as well as such a plug link

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrical connection terminal, in particular a modular terminal, having a busbar (1) and having a detachable plug link (2), which has a comb-like link rail (4), for engaging in an opening (3) in the busbar (1) and making electrical contact, the link rail (4) having a rail strip (5) and a plurality of connectors (6) which are connected to the rail strip (5), and at least one, preferably each connector (6), having two separate contact limbs (7, 8), of which at least one is designed to be resilient. In order to ensure good mechanical firm seating and electrical contact of the plug link (2) in the busbar (1) of the electrical connecting terminal, it being intended to ensure simple construction and cost-effective production of the plug link (2) at the same time, it is provided according to the invention that the link rail (4) has two link rail sections (9, 10) which are arranged side by side in the longitudinal direction (L) of the plug link (2) at least in the region of the rail strip (5), and that one contact limb (7, 8) is formed from in each case one link rail section (9, 10) per connector (6).

Base for an electrical protective-earth conductor terminal, as well as such a protective-earth conductor terminal

Abstract: The invention relates to a base (1) for an electrical protective-earth conductor terminal (2) for connection to a supporting rail (5) which has laterally projecting limbs (3, 4), having two base elements (11, 12) which consist of bent sheet-metal parts and can move relative to one another and between which at least one spring element acts, the base elements (11, 12) having at their outer ends, pointing away from one another, base ends (9, 10) for in each case engaging under a limb (3, 4) of the supporting rail (5), at least one base end (9), which is designed as an intrinsically rigid bolt, being movable in the direction of the associated limb (3) and, against the spring force of the spring element (14), away from the associated limb (3) for connection to the supporting rail (5) and, in the connected position, engaging under the associated limb (3) in a positively locking manner, the two base elements (11, 12) being arranged such that they at least partially overlap and each base element (11, 12) having a bent supporting limb (22, 23) in the region of the overlap and the spring element (14) acting on the supporting limb (22, 23) in such a manner that the base ends (9, 10) are clamped onto one another. In order to provide a base which consists of as few components as possible, can be handled and assembled easily and is at the same time cost-effective, it is provided according to the invention that the spring element (14) be designed as a leaf spring, which is designed integrally with one of the supporting limbs (22, 23).

Electric connection device

Abstract: An electric connection device for connecting a conductor having at least one contact bush of a conductive material with a clearing for a contact spring and a contact spring disposed thereat which clamps a conductor plugged into the contact bush from a plug-in side against the inner wall of the contact bush wherein the contact spring is pivotable outwardly through the clearing

Electrical connector for circuit boards

Abstract: The connector has a box spring element with a clamp arm cut out of its wall and bent inwards. An actuator part (4) has a cable (2) through channel which extends from a cable input opening (10) at a press end (35) to a cable outlet opening at the inner end of the actuator part.

Coaxial cable connector with radio frequency interference and grounding shield

Abstract: A radio frequency interference (RFI) and grounding shield for a coaxial cable connector is disclosed. The shield comprises a circular inner segment and at least one arcuately shaped pre-formed cantilevered annular beam attached to the circular inner segment by a joining segment. The at least one pre-formed cantilevered annular beam extends angularly from a plane of the circular inner segment. The at least one pre-formed cantilevered annular beam applies a spring-force to a surface of the surface of a component of the coaxial cable connector establishing an electrically conductive path between the components. The at least one pre-formed cantilevered annular beam comprises an outer surface with a knife-like edge that provides a wiping action of surface oxides on component surfaces of the coaxial cable connector and allows for unrestricted movement when the coaxial cable connector is attached to an equipment connection port of an appliance.

Electrical conductor connecting means

Abstract: An electrical connector includes a metal housing having at least one side wall, and first and second end walls cooperating with the side wall to define an open-topped chamber, an inverted generally U-shaped resilient contact having first and second leg portions introduced into the chamber adjacent the first and second end walls, respectively, and a bridging portion adjacent the open top of the metal housing, the housing side wall having a bent portion for supporting the resilient contact bridging portion, the resilient contact first leg portion being connected against coplanar movement relative to the housing first end wall. The resilient contact second leg portion is biased outwardly from the first leg portion, thereby to bias a conductor introduced within the housing chamber toward engagement with a bus bar defined adjacent the housing second end wall. The housing may be formed of an electrically conductive metal, such as copper. The free extremity of the second contact leg may be bifurcated to improve the biasing of one or more conductors against the bus bar.

Coaxial cable connector with integral rfi protection

Abstract: A coaxial cable connector for coupling an end of a coaxial cable to a terminal is disclosed. The connector has a coupler adapted to couple the connector to a terminal, a body assembled with the coupler and a post assembled with the coupler and the body. The post is adapted to receive an end of a coaxial cable. The post has an integral contacting portion that is monolithic with at least a portion of the post. When assembled the coupler and post provide at least one circuitous path resulting in RF shielding such that RF signals external to the coaxial cable connector are attenuated, such that the integrity of an electrical signal transmitted through coaxial cable connector is maintained regardless of the tightness of the coupling of the connector to the terminal.

Push-on cable connector with a coupler and retention and release mechanism

Abstract: A cable connector comprising a coupler and a retainer having a base with an internal channel and a latching assembly is provided. The coupler has a first end, a second end, and a bore extending therethrough. The second end is radially inwardly biased. The first end of the coupler positions within the channel of the base. The latching assembly comprises a beam having a first end and a second end. The latch assembly pivotably connects to the base at a location on the beam between the first end and the second end of the beam. The latching assembly has a plurality of teeth extending radially inwardly from the second end of the beam towards the bore of the coupler proximate to the coupler. The beam may be a plurality of beams. The coupler has an annular groove. A spring clip positions in the annular groove at least partially around the coupler and provides the radially inwardly bias to the coupler. The coupler has at least one latch slot, wherein the at least one of the plurality of teeth extends radially inwardly through the at least one latch slot into the bore. The coupler has at least one compression slot, wherein the at least one compression slot responds to the radially inwardly bias of the coupler, compressing the coupler radially inwardly and, thereby, providing a resiliently friction fit function to the coupler.

Electrical splice connector

Abstract: An electrical splice connector includes a housing, a conductive member retained within the housing and defining a longitudinal axis, and at least two biasing members circumferentially disposed about the longitudinal axis of the conductive member and biased toward the conductive member. Each of the biasing members is configured to urge conductors inserted into the housing into electrical contact with the conductive member.
